[QUOTE="LongestShot, post: 1674996, member: 101776"] The two cartridges I'd recommend are the 6.5-284 and the 270WSM. My preference personally, (I have both) would be the 270WSM. In the 270WSM I shoot 145 grain Hammers and love them. It was easy to work up a load and find the perfect node. I shoot them touching the lands. Just as important as your choice in cartridge when shooting these distances is your choice in a scope. You need to accurately dial in yardage as well as windrift. Mount a Nightforce 3.5-15 with zero stop, or better yet a NXS 5.5-22 and you can accurately range your shots out to 1,000 yards. If you're going with Ackley Improved, AI, my choice would be the 7mm Mauser AI. Great selection of brass and you can always purchase standard 7x57 ammo and fireform it just be shooting with it.Always been a fan of the Mauser and have three different Mausers at home. Both Nosler and Barnes make great 168 grain long distance bullets in 284. [/QUOTE]
